We consider X-ray coherent scatter imaging, where the goal is to reconstruct momentum transfer profiles (spectral distributions) at each spatial location from multiplexed measurements of scatter. Each material is characterized by a unique momentum transfer profile (MTP) which can be used to discriminate between different materials. We propose an iterative image reconstruction algorithm based on a Poisson noise model that can account for photon-limited measurements as well as various second order statistics of the data. To improve image quality, previous approaches use edge-preserving regularizers to promote piecewise constancy of the image in the spatial domain while treating each spectral bin separately. Instead, we propose spectrally grouped regularization that promotes piecewise constant images along the spatial directions but also ensures that the MTPs of neighboring spatial bins are similar, if they contain the same material. We demonstrate that this group regularization results in improvement of both spectral and spatial image quality. We pursue an optimization transfer approach where convex decompositions are used to lift the problem such that all hyper-voxels can be updated in parallel and in closed-form. The group penalty introduces a challenge since it is not directly amendable to these decompositions. We use the alternating directions method of multipliers (ADMM) to replace the original problem with an equivalent sequence of sub-problems that are amendable to convex decompositions, leading to a highly parallel algorithm. We demonstrate the performance on real data.

Here we introduce a new reconstruction technique for two-dimensional Bragg Scattering Tomography (BST), based on the Radon transform models of [arXiv preprint, arXiv:2004.10961 (2020)]. Our method uses a combination of ideas from multibang control an d microlocal analysis to construct an objective function which can regularize the BST artifacts; specifically the boundary artifacts due to sharp cutoff in sinogram space (as observed in [arXiv preprint, arXiv:2007.00208 (2020)]), and artifacts arising from approximations made in constructing the model used for inversion. We then test our algorithm in a variety of Monte Carlo (MC) simulated examples of practical interest in airport baggage screening and threat detection. The data used in our studies is generated with a novel Monte-Carlo code presented here. The model, which is available from the authors upon request, captures both the Bragg scatter effects described by BST as well as beam attenuation and Compton scatter.

Sampling high-dimensional images is challenging due to limited availability of sensors; scanning is usually necessary in these cases. To mitigate this challenge, snapshot compressive imaging (SCI) was proposed to capture the high-dimensional (usually 3D) images using a 2D sensor (detector). Via novel optical design, the {em measurement} captured by the sensor is an encoded image of multiple frames of the 3D desired signal. Following this, reconstruction algorithms are employed to retrieve the high-dimensional data. Though various algorithms have been proposed, the total variation (TV) based method is still the most efficient one due to a good trade-off between computational time and performance. This paper aims to answer the question of which TV penalty (anisotropic TV, isotropic TV and vectorized TV) works best for video SCI reconstruction? Various TV denoising and projection algorithms are developed and tested for video SCI reconstruction on both simulation and real datasets.

We consider curvature depending variational models for image regularization, such as Eulers elastica. These models are known to provide strong priors for the continuity of edges and hence have important applications in shape-and image processing. We consider a lifted convex representation of these models in the roto-translation space: In this space, curvature depending variational energies are represented by means of a convex functional defined on divergence free vector fields. The line energies are then easily extended to any scalar function. It yields a natural generalization of the total variation to the roto-translation space. As our main result, we show that the proposed convex representation is tight for characteristic functions of smooth shapes. We also discuss cases where this representation fails. For numerical solution, we propose a staggered grid discretization based on an averaged Raviart-Thomas finite elements approximation. This discretization is consistent, up to minor details, with the underlying continuous model. The resulting non-smooth convex optimization problem is solved using a first-order primal-dual algorithm. We illustrate the results of our numerical algorithm on various problems from shape-and image processing.
We consider total variation minimization for manifold valued data. We propose a cyclic proximal point algorithm and a parallel proximal point algorithm to minimize TV functionals with $ell^p$-type data terms in the manifold case. These algorithms are based on iterative geodesic averaging which makes them easily applicable to a large class of data manifolds. As an application, we consider denoising images which take their values in a manifold. We apply our algorithms to diffusion tensor images, interferometric SAR images as well as sphere and cylinder valued images. For the class of Cartan-Hadamard manifolds (which includes the data space in diffusion tensor imaging) we show the convergence of the proposed TV minimizing algorithms to a global minimizer.
We propose a new variational model for joint image reconstruction and motion estimation in spatiotemporal imaging, which is investigated along a general framework that we present with shape theory. This model consists of two components, one for condu cting modified static image reconstruction, and the other performs sequentially indirect image registration. For the latter, we generalize the large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping framework into the sequentially indirect registration setting. The proposed model is compared theoretically against alternative approaches (optical flow based model and diffeomorphic motion models), and we demonstrate that the proposed model has desirable properties in terms of the optimal solution. The theoretical derivations and efficient algorithms are also presented for a time-discretized scenario of the proposed model, which show that the optimal solution of the time-discretized version is consistent with that of the time-continuous one, and most of the computational components is the easy-implemented linearized deformation. The complexity of the algorithm is analyzed as well. This work is concluded by some numerical examples in 2D space + time tomography with very sparse and/or highly noisy data.
